Restaurants: The number of places is nudging 200 -- well, it is in the 180s, but we'll call it nudging -- and the breadth of geography and type-of-foodery is remarkable. Hillcrest, Coronado, the Gaslamp, they're all on there, and plenty of spots within each locale.

Why we're suggesting this: Trips to San Diego are frequent for the Angeleno, and all too brief. There are always more places we want to try. That one taco hut. That other taco hut. The place with the freshly baked bread. A Restaurant Week makes for a good excuse to make good on the promise.

Why we're also suggesting this:LA's own Winter Restaurant Week comes on the heels of San Diego's. Why not have a Restaurant Week appetizer to stoke the appetite?
